2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start
@M32H32IS Just saying, I FEEL your pain. Honestly, I don't know if I can deal with issues. To think ALL the maintenance and care I put into it that it would last another 100k miles with ease, but that's not the case. Depending on how I feel after I get the oem struts on, changing out the 3rd... -
2010 LR4 Off-road wheel and tire options
I didn't ask. I'm just going to take it as a loss. I'm pretty sure they won't warranty something that's been off roading, especially when it happened on a (super easy) trail. You can also see that it pulled my axle out of the cv joint and it was hanging below the skid plate. This also... -
2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start
I just purchased all oem struts, 3rd brake light assembly (mine is breaking down), and britpart front seat covers from UK. Let's see how it goes when it comes in... -
2010 LR4 Off-road wheel and tire options
It's actually pretty common, but I thought I'm special and it wouldn't happen to me. It broke where the bushing inserts into the front LCA. The bushing was 100% in tact, the LCA bushing hoop broke in half where it meets the the rest of the welded structure. -
2012 versus 2015 LR4
If you plan to off road it, you'll want a hi/lo gear transfer case. '10-'13 V8s come with it standard. '14+ was an optional HD package with hi/lo TC and lockers. If you're mall crawling with light off road trails, then the newer ones are nice with updated infotainment and tech. Otherwise, lo... -
2010 LR4 Off-road wheel and tire options
I guess I'm old school then. Side note, this censorship allows you to say asshole, but you can't say n-ipple? -
2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start
There's a ton of other things that I've been through. All separate incididents from the top of my head, swapped out 2 transmissions, 3 water pumps, 2 thermostats, 2 front crossover pipes, 1 rear crossover, 2 oil cooler o-rings, both hpfp, gas tank o-ring, timing chain, ignition coils, o2... -
2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start
I feel your pain... I'm actually debating if I want to keep it going. I had a catastrophic failure, not engine or powertrain related, and to properly fix it, I would want all new oem struts and front lcas. -
2010 LR4 Off-road wheel and tire options
Not true... I've "upgraded" to the Lucky8 hd lower control arms with poly bushings not too long ago. While out on an easy trail the RH LCA broke at the front bushing, the axle popped out of the cv joint on the engine side, and bent the airbag/strut deeming it completely useless. Luckily, I ran... -
2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start
I seriously dealt with this and I know how to fix it. The hard way is to press down on the brake pedal as hard as you can, and hit the Start/Stop button. The easy way to start it when the brakes are stiff and it only clicks once; Without pressing on the brakes, press the Start/Stop button to... -
Interior sill plate protection
I did this about 7 years ago, door sill plates. It held up. -
Replaced crossover pipes and water pump
Typically when you have to do cooling work, especially the first time, I highly recommend doing ALL of it. This is a list for the V8s, not sure if there's any difference for the scv6. Water Pump LR097165 - $289 Water Pump gasket LR049370 (2x) - $32ea ($64) Oil cooler pipe LR028136 - $32 Oil... -
Coolant leak from small hose on Waterpump
You'll need to remove the fan shroud and fan clutch to get access. -
Oil in Intake Manifold - Smoke on Startup
Get a baffled closed system oil catch can with only 2 ports, in and out. Otherwise, your system will detect a leak. It's very sensitive to vacuum pressure readings. -
Oil in Intake Manifold - Smoke on Startup
I made my own oil catch can on both banks, but you really only need it on bank 1. Here's some pics of it. https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/diy-timing-chain.31050/post-216075 I don't really think the oil in the intake manifold would be enough to smoke up. Maybe it's just condensation built... -
Heavier wheel/LT tire combo "skipping" across pavement?
Like everyone said, try running it close to oem tire pressures. I run mine at F40:R45, which is slightly over oem (F36:R42). -
5.0 LR4 oil catch can non turbo
It works, but kept finding leaks. Tempted to just weld those extra holes on the catch can shut. I temporarily swapped back to the oem hose, but now I have to walnut blast the intake valves again. -
Timing Chain Seal replacement? Or something else?
Yeah, I second that. Looks more like a vacuum pump oil leak, but it doesn't really show conclusive evidence on the video. Just tell the tech that you're going to get a second opinion from an indy shop, they might change their mind about the diagnosis. -
Suspension Fault - Can I drive???
You can still drive over 65 mph when it shows the 30 mph warning. Technically not advisable, but doable it it doesn't limit you. -
Throttle body coolant line mystery
1. Nothing connects to the false n-ipple. I use that specific connector to fill coolant to the rear of the block. 2. Get a brass n-ipple... -
LR4 "Smart" Charging Charging Strategy
Haha! I did the same thing with a folding 100W solar panel with an extra long 25ft (idk) cable to hook into the solar controller too. I also have 2 portable jumper packs just in case too. I guess once we've been burned with electrical power issues, we over prepare. :rock: -
LR4 "Smart" Charging Charging Strategy
@avslash I have a very similar setup. I went with the Lensun hood solar panel, GoPower dual bank controller (Aux 1st, Starting 2nd), Redarc dc-dc charger (with solar, just in case, but not used), and a Power Bastards ** alternator (based on your other thread). I'm also pretty happy with the... -
Coolant system part help!
I posted a thread about this and here's a brass version of the n i p p l e. https://www.ebay.com/itm/334707225885?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tysVpTsRTZe&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=bxUwh4WqQAu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY -
Long crank, no faults
Here's a thought, what if you reset the engine values with the gap iid tool? This will force the ecu to relearn new values.
